[XR68UZ]

The FG key is one of the flip out ones, so it's one piece, 1 key

ok im sold!

what is in the tech pack that I see in your sigs? im hoping for something like

ZF, LUX pack, XR floor mates, XR scuff plates, Alarm, Rear parking sensors, Nitro in color. and for 45k driveaway (no fleet discounts, private buy).

pricing on website for the above is 53900 plus on roads.

what are your thoughts?

haha good on you! fords the way.

tech pack basically includes I-pod compatibility, theres a cable you connect the ipod to and it brings up all the music info on the screen and u just control it with steering wheel/ICC. also tech pack has blutooth - supports bunch of phones and the list is still growing (from sennaT ) shows your contacts on the screen when they call and u can answer through steering wheel.

as for your wish list there, I think its possible specially now with petrol prices being so high and all majority of people are ignoring sedans especially turbos/v8's so im sure if you go to a couple of dealers theres someone desperate enough to get a sale that'll just say f*ck it and give it to you for a very decent price, I would expect 45-48k from a decent dealer. as I said earlier I scored mine for 45k drive-away but I didnt mention it was a private buy also. good luck buddy hope it all go's well,

EDIT: also check around some dealers cars in stock - some of them have features such as lux pack and selling for about 43k driveaway, which is a pretty good deal all you'd have to do is tell them u want the rest of the stuff on your list and they'll add it on most likely end up costing you about 45k either way just make sure you take gooooood long hard looks around the dealer and ask for as many price quotes you can get

hmm bluetooth sounds good but dont need the ipod. also noticed theres an option for a trans cooler! I know when im ready to buy I should be able to get something around the 45k mark with the options that I want.

how long does delivery take for an fg? the vw take about 6 months!

anyone noticed any common faults in the fg's as yet? such as the diff clunk in the ba's. or more annoyingly the seatbelt wearing into the guider on the drivers side.

[uniqsouljah]

I saw the option for trans cooler I dont really know what the hell it does lol so I didnt order it. took me 6-7 weeks to get it to my dealer ready for pickup.

no faults for me yet havent heard any clunks - smooth as car. the seatbelts fine for me? never owned a ba/bf before so I wouldnt have a clue if its any different.

I know it is a little off topic but can you get this tech pack for a BA/BF?

[uniqsouljah]

havent heard of anything like that being added to the ba/bf's from factory or as an added option from a ford dealership. BUT you can always ask ASL they are really good with all the techy gadget stuff that ford brings out and they install it on peoples cars for what seems a very decent price compared to dealerships.

I know it is a little off topic but can you get this tech pack for a BA/BF?

In the BA's you could get a Prestige Pack.

It was Dual Zone Climate Control, Prestige Leather (Suede Circles and leather sides), Auto Lights and you could also get Auto Pedals.

Yeah my FG took about 5 weeks to be delivered, but might be a bit quicker if you live in a built up area. Tranny cooler would be good if you are doing a lot of towing, couldn't really see a need for it otherwise...unless you are pretty harsh on the gear lol

A person that might be able to help is a member here, rjs.

He had a BA XR6 Turbo tuned by CV (like yourself), then had some sort of VW GTI thing, and now has a tuned FG XR6 Turbo (both are what you're interested in at the moment).
